Find out how to make your bike faster with these tricks from LeTour de France sprinters cycling
Going fast is what attracts many people to cycling with the feeling of speed being rather addictive. But what can we learn from the sprinters of the Tour de France about how to set up your bike for pure speed?The easiest way to make yourself faster and bring up your speed is to get more of yourself out of the wind. The most aero bike on the planet isn't going to help a great deal if your body – which is responsible for the vast majority of drag – is acting like a giant sail to hold you back.
This technique requires a lot of practice and remember to keep looking forward instead of checking out the power numbers on your computer. Chunky carbon stems like the Pro Vibe Sprint on this Bora-Hansgrohe bike from a previous year are still a fairly common sight on the bikes of larger riders, although more bikes now come with integrated cockpits that are designed specifically for that make and model. Stiff components upfront can help riders with arm muscles generate maximum power.
Doing some lead-outs with friends is great fun with each person’s turn getting shorter and faster until you finish it off with a glorious dash to a random sign on the edge of town.If you've ever seen someone's bike and wondered what those little buttons that poke out of the bar tape are, you can rest your troubled mind. These are Sprinter Shifters on Shimano electronic groupsets and Blips on SRAM electronic groupsets.
On the bike, work can consist of a mix of high-speed sprints with a fast cadence and standing starts where you power a big gear up from almost stationary to top speed. Throw in a few sprints for town signs and you've got yourself a basic training session.
